So sad 😕
Her son isn't going to sit in his wheelchair all the time if he is able to get out of it. She admits that, but wants the teachers to force him into it? Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
Do what I do to my niece or nephew... I tell them if you can't NOT get hurt doing that then you don't need to do it. Save that for when you're at you home -with your parents. LOL. Bc I don't need anyone to come after me bc you can't NOT hurt yourself playing. I give them the freedom to be but also the choice to exercise good judgement. But they def should have had him looked at when he got hurt, but then again, it's not like kids will tell you when they are hurt 😵💫
@@shad0wCh8ser Kids are going to be kids. That means they will get hurt sometimes. If the teachers refused to let him play basketball or forced him into his wheelchair, they would be on the news screaming discrimination/abuse against disabled people.
The mother should have requested to the principal to relay the message to keep him from getting hurt …you do what you have to do to keep your baby safe , and she could have talked to her son about certain activities before hand it’s a learning lesson for both of them .
I pray that she sue them!!!!
pray for lawsuits. god bless america.
she will definitely lose. that's why she is going to the news, because no lawyer is going to take this case with no retainer and that's even if he takes the case at all. If she had any chance to win she wouldn't be making a spectacle of herself on the news. I wish this young man the best in life and he definitely should be free from harassment and bullying but his mom isn't doing him any favors.
He went from being around a bunch of kids that bullied him to a school that made him feel like he is not different. A clinic aide wouldn't know how severe his injury is but the call was made right away. Instead of trying to understand what her child is feeling already as a child without legs, let's call the news and tell everyone he's different and can't do things like his peers even though if not for him stumbling and being trampled upon, he would feel like he could be like his friends. Yes he has to wait to heal in order to fit his prosthetics so he might be able to play basketball but who wants to chance playing with him after this.
I'm sorry, but his father should've talked her out of this news thing. The child is sitting next to his momma acting as he was forced to get out of his wc by the teacher and play.
Hey mom, there are basketball teams for children in WC bc he wants to play.
you make very solid points. I do feel the mother is looking for a payday and her son should have known better than to play without the chair. I think she went to the news to try and force the school to settle. notice she doesn't mention a lawyer...
🤦♂️ ~ Get over it mother. This makes me annoyed. He’s old enough to know what he needs to do. He’s not a toddler that has been watched every minute of the day. He went from a school that terrorized him to now a school that treats him like he’s everybody else, and she still not happy. And she can’t just complain, she has to go to the news media. Maybe she wants more GoFundMe money or something. Stop it.
Your heartless I hope you are nobody in your family endure this kind of pain.
he is a very handsome young man and he is a warrior. How can you bully anyone? Let alone a kid with no legs! What happened to our society that we tear down the most vulnerable people in our communities?
Stomped on his what?
Ban stompers.
What has happened to our society... You are so cruel in your comments! If his health and safety would be at risk, then you don't let him out. Whoever is being bullied, mistreated it's Not ok. Period!
Hot take: Instead of taking action in silence, she turns to the news yet again. People get bullied & get hurt at schools every day but since her kid is double amputate it’s special treatment? Seems like she’s victimizing her son & using it for attention because she knows she will not get any traction in court for her kid doing kid things so she tries to get sympathy from the public🤔
I agree. She's not in his body to understand what he feels when seeing his peers doing what he feels he can do. The kids accept him and engage with him but unfortunately, he was injured and it will delay getting his prosthetic.
spot on. I am sympathetic to the young man but the mother is using the news to try and force the school to settle since no lawyer is going to take this case for free.
